So with all the new weaponry in Halo 4 do you think all Promethean weapons disintegrate biologicals(So Grunts, Jackals, Elites, Human allies, you, maybe even Hunters who just leave armor behind) upon kills. 343 seems to really enjoy the effect as both the Oddball and Flag do the same. I think it would give the Promethean weapons a real intimidation factor whenever they are used.
I personally would like it if all the energy based Promethean weapons should cause disintegration as I think it would give them a unique feel and make them still feel like something used by a highly advanced race 100,000 years ago. They don’t have to be any more powerful(in gameplay) than the other weapons but disintegration would make you feel outgunned and fighting against a very technologically superior faction superior even to the Covenant weapons even though balance wise you are not.
The bonus being not having to render as many bodies in during levels with Prometheans. Not to mention how satisfying it would be to nail several headshots on Grunts and watch them disintegrate before your eyes with a Light Rifle. That would definitely give them reason to flee.
I think it would fit in with canon, since the weapons would have been used to fight the flood. You might want to add that in to make your point stronger.
Maybe a different animation would be cool. Like different types of disintegration??? Maybe like how Fallout 3 had different animations for both energy weapons. Goo and Ashes? Maybe implosions?

That would be interesting. Maybe all the energy based weapons disintegrate, but perhaps there are other types of weapons. Perhaps a power weapon that sucks the victim into slipspace
> I don’t think the weapons kill by disintegration. They just disintegrate the remains once the target is dead.
I realize that, that is the whole point of the thread. Should all Promethean weapons disintegrate(biological) enemies upon delivering the killing blow? I believe they ought to unless they are different type of weapon from the other weapons.
So that list would include at least the Scattershot, Light Rifle, Promethean Repeater and possibly the mystery Promethean weapon and the pistol, if not others.
